Subject:Re: replacing window glass seals

As of now Vanagon windshields are available, usually they are Seafelight. If
no one buys them then don't expect them to be available when we need them. I
had a heck of a time getting a windshield for my Fox. BTW if your van is
worth anything you should have comprehensive insurance. With glass coverage
they will treat to a window when needed. Have the new seal in hand when they
arrive.

        Only front glasses are really breakable through handling and install
.
           Keep on asking around , they were politely telling you they did
not want to do that job .
            If you are putting new seals in , just replace the front glass
.it is probably way past it useful life . You would not drive  a tire past
it's wear bars but most people will drive a windshield until they just can't
see through it , kinda like driving around with steel bands showing through
their tires .
               Look on Craigslist , there are some competent guys on there ,
you just need to grill them to see if they understand rubber set windows or
not .
             Good luck .
